Start Your Day Right
Rise and shine with our epic morning yoga sessions. Our yoga room is your sanctuary, where our instructors will guide you through a zen-filled start to your day.

Pedal to Paradise
Feel the breeze in your hair as you cruise around on one of the Stoke Beach House complimentary beach bikes. Don’t forget your helmet—not just for safety, but to avoid those cheeky magpies! Swing by reception, grab your bike and explore Manly in style. For those not afraid of a little hill action, head on up to North Head to see the sweeping views of Sydney Harbour; for the lucky ones staying with us during winter, it’s the best place to spot a few whales and their calves having a rest before heading back out to sea. Into more of a flat cruise, grab a pair of complimentary snorkels from reception and ride over to Shelly Beach to explore the pristine waters of Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve. You’ll spot over 160 species of fancy-looking fish, sting rays and octopus.
Get In The Green Room
Always wanted to learn to surf? You have come to the right place. Get in the green room with our world-renowned Manly Surf School and learn to surf like a pro! Manly Beach is one of Sydney’s most renowned surf spots, offering perfect beginner waves in kiddies’ corners as well as consistent beach breaks for all levels across its 4km stretch from Manly to Queenscliff. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to hone your skills, the surf school is perfect for boosting your confidence and getting you out on the waves. Once you’ve mastered your skill, grab a complimentary surfboard and wetsuit from Stoke Beach House reception to keep practising your skill.
Explore Sydney
While we love Manly Beach, when you stay at Stoke Beach House, you have Sydney at your fingertips and insane day trips available. Seriously! Gawk at the Sydney Opera House, walk over the Sydney Harbour Bridge, catch a ferry to the famous Taronga Zoo or pack a bag for a day exploring the Blue Mountains.

Thirsty Work
After a day of exploring, head up to the in-house bar area for some killer pool games and HAPPY HOUR.
